I like how the Game Gear lost hard to the Game Boy, but now their design is the standard for handheld consoles.

I had family with a Sega Nomad. I thought that thing was a unit and I was so jealous of it. Now everything's significantly bigger than that. I remember how anything over 4.3" 16:9 phone display was too big to be portable. PC Handhelds go up to I think 10 inches now with GPD Win and the lightweight one soon being a Switch 2 is 7.9" 16:9 display

The Nomad + a car charger made long car trips a breeze. That was a damn good investment on my parents' part.
